"Much maintenance have been done on the road, but the large number of heavy trucks from various mines that use the road have contributed to the deterioration of the road," said department spokesman Dumisani Malamule on Monday, 6 January 2014.
"The road has now deteriorated to the point where patching is not a feasible option anymore, but rehabilitation is required."
Malamulele said the rehabilitation will be done in the 2014/15 financial year.
Malamule said that government will make all efforts to ensure the rehabilitation of the road.
"As we are approaching the end of the current financial year, all efforts are being made to ensure that rehabilitation of the road is done in the 2014/15 financial year.
"The MEC will pronounce the plans for the provincial road network during the 2014/15 Policy and Budget Speech," Malamule said.
